Nature · Almenara, La Plana Baixa, Castellón

The Almenara marjal is a protected wetland included in the Natura 2000 Network and in the Valencian Regional Government's Catalogue of Wetlands, within the group of coastal lagoons and marshes. It covers 1550 hectares and, in 2017, an area of 1473.9 hectares was declared a Ramsar site. It extends between the south of the province of Castellón and the north of that of Valencia, in the comarcas of La Plana Baixa and El Camp de Morvedre, and covers part of the municipal areas of Chilches, La Llosa, Almenara, Sagunto, Benavites and Cuartell. Its coastal landscape brings together highly varied habitats, including ponds with hydrophytic vegetation, calcareous peat bogs, and Mediterranean saline grasslands and steppes.
